Google Instant Search

The third Google Interactive Doodle was an attention grabbing technique as Google unveiled their new Instant search. Essentially when you visit Google’s homepage (or any search results page) and begin typing in a search query you will not only be presented with a drop down of suggested search queries; now you will also see instant results on the page behind you.

No need to press enter.

No need to wait the 1.9 seconds for the results of your query to return.

Instead, as you type the results are displayed instantly.

Welcome to the realtime web!

What does it mean?

The truth about your existing SEO efforts and your current page rank is that they will stay the same. The page rank algorithm is still the same. The result set is still the same, you have the same position as you did last week (all other factors being equal).

However, this will change user behavior. We’ll see a shift in how users use long tail and refine their searches. And we should see this change reflected in site analytics.
